Article in Evidence-based practice in child and adolescent mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Consistent evidence finds supportive, affirming parents have a significant positive impact on LGBTQ + youth mental health. Yet few studies have examined the experiences of parents of LGBTQ + youth with mental health service needs, a notable gap in the literature given the considerable proportion of LGBTQ + youth with mental health difficulties. Objectives: The current study aimed to characterize the experiences of parents of LGBTQ + youth in navigating services for their child to inform future parent-focused resource and intervention development. Methods: A sample of Results: Three key themes emerged: (1) parents' challenges related to accessing and navigating mental health services for their LGBTQ + children, (2) parents' need for their own resources and support as they navigate these challenges, and (3) parent-identified recommendations to improve LGBTQ + youth and family support. Subthemes highlighted the complexities parents face given their dual role in both affirming their child's identities as well as supporting their child's mental health needs, particularly within the sociopolitical context of the Southeastern U.S. Conclusion: Findings demonstrate the need for affirming and accessible mental health resources for LGBTQ + youth and families in Southeastern U.S. as well as the need for parent-focused resources to better support parents of LGBTQ + youth experiencing mental health problems. Based on parents' perspectives, we offer a set of recommendations for child and adolescent mental healthcare providers and organizations for supporting LGBTQ + youth and families.
